According to his profile page on CBS Sports, Martin already possesses the body of a veteran NFL offensive lineman. He also has a bit of nastiness to his game—an element the 49ers will love on their roster as they face off against some of the elite defenses in the NFC West.

Further bolstering his game is the fact that Martin plays at both the guard and center position.

This gives him added versatility when the 49ers assemble their depth chart entering 2014.

Negatives

At 6'3", Martin is not ideally as tall as one would perhaps like a guard to be. This suggests that Martin will likely stay at the center position at the NFL level per CBS Sports—a position at which he has only one year of experience.

Fortunately, shortcomings and flaws—inherent to many rookie O-linemen—should be easily coached up by offensive line coaches Mike Solari and Reggie Davis.

Final Thoughts

Martin was ranked by CBS Sports as the top center available in this year's draft. The 49ers get their hands on him with their first pick in Round 3.

The pick promises immediate competition at center, perhaps lending credence to Martin becoming the eventual favorite over Kilgore—at least in the long run.

Martin's added versatility is a lovely bonus for San Francisco as well. Depth on the offensive line is never a bad thing.

But at the start of 2014, it could be a player like Kilgore who is backing up Martin.
